It should be for more than enjoyment. Enjoyment isn't and end in itself, or shouldn't be.

If it didn't feel good for both parties why would we bother to reproduce?

An anology to what I'm saying is like having a button on your body that would give you free pleasure with zero consequences except wasted energy. It's a pleasure button, nothing more. If we had that, then we'd play with that all day and not have to suffer the consequences.

Because we are naturally social creatures. We want to interact with other people. You can try to debate that if you'd like, but if it were not true you would have never created an account here and posted your first thread.

This is also where the debate on whether same sex or opposite blurs the picture once you take out reproduction. I like women. I don't care if someone else likes whatever, if both parties are in agreement or happy.

Your reasoning is based on our graduation from simply animals to those that view sex as pleasure, in and of itself. But my original question was for the natural (animalistic) reasoning behind female orgasm.

No it wasn't...I am a biologist/zoologist at heart. We are just animals.

We have more mental capacity than most though. There are a few other species that have 'sex' for non-reproduction.
 
I didn't read all of the replys..so, if this thought has already been expressed...sorry!

In the animal world, the female "comes in heat"

This condition causes a scent to be emitted, which is picked up by all males in her vicinity.

Because animals do not have the restraint, both legal and moral that humans do..they copulate at will.

Human females ALSO "come in heat" just as the monthly menstrual period begins or a day or two prior.

There apparently is no scent..and the human female can suppress this desire to copulate if she so desires.

Once a human female begins to mate, the climax situation kicks in and she is much more prone to copulate than before..it now becomes a driving force, but controllable because of human morals, etc.

The Muslims quite often mutilate their Daughters by removing the Clitoris, rendering them incapable of a climax in that manner...then, they have the vulva sewn together preventing sex.

My "personal opinion" is that sex drive in animal or humans is the drive to procreate..a climax in either a male or female acts to force them to mate and "make babies...be it humans or goats!

BTW... a human male can climax quite well, while still in puberty or old age...and not produce any sperm at all during "ejaculation"
 
I think a woman's orgasm was designed so that a woman can reproduce. When a woman has an orgasm, I think her vagina kind of sucks it or does some movement like that. This helps bring in sperm to fertilize the egg.

I forgot if I heard that from a credible source or from Jerry Springer.

I think this is the best answer.

The best answer can't be "for her enjoyment so she'll do it" becuase for centuries there was no emphasis on the female orgasm/female pleasure. I think that is a recent thing.

Sex is about enjoyment...to get you to want to procreate.

For centuries the female has been looked at as more of a pack mule than equal.

politics <> science.

There were several periods of times females felt guilty because they were actually enjoying what was being forced upon them (not that many were probably fighting it 😉).

One of the best traits about women, and I look at them as a equal to men; is that they learn their role dealt out to them a lot better than men. A man will often fight himself to death in something he doesn't agree with but has no ability to change. A woman will learn to adapt and work it out to her advantage a lot of time and at the very least use her presence to minimize the damages. That very same women will usually fight at first, but learns when the fight is over and moving on begins.

nicely said buddy

So?

I read here a lot..."a man of few words, so to say".

Very rarely stop by this forum..saw the topic, read a few replys that were obviously from the very young...thought a different viewpoint might be worthwhile.

 
It's simply part of development. The same tissue that develops into the penis in men (the sensitive regions) develops into the clitoris in women.

Correct, however..the human female has more than the 'clit' whereby a climax can be achieved.

With a human male, the climax is achieved from stimulation of the nerves in the penis. In a female, the Clitoris is one, the G-spot about 3 inches inside front of the vagina is another for some women, massaging the cervix during intercourse is still another.

If women didn't want to have sex, it'd be the end of the species. Other species can rely on overpowering females in species where the male is a lot bigger or tricking the female to have sex in species which are really unintelligent (spiders) but such things wouldn't work in humans.

Males don't have sex in order to ejaculate. Ejaculation is requires little more than the squeezing of a muscle and relaxing a sphincter. Nature has coordinated orgasm with ejaculation so that we don't have an orgasm first, never ejaculate, and thus fail to inseminate the female partner.

I don't know about that. Take a look at a lot of women these days... they act like they want sex, but really they just want to have kids. Once they trick the guy into getting them pregnant, they're cold bitches. Many don't even care if the guy sticks around or not- they chose a guy to get them pregnant, now they'll raise their kids.

Why do you think prehistoric man stuck it in a woman? Um, I'm sure it felt good then too. I'm sure the women of the time also enjoyed it or they would never have done it willingly.

Obviously, Mr. Elliot is/was a fool, or he lived well before several of the Kings of old England, Rome, Atilla the Hun..Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin...etc. etc.

Those people were blood thirsty...killed for the sake of killing...just as some in the East do today!
